At two o'clock in the afternoon on New Year's Eve, the shops on the street are still open, and they usually close early at two or three o'clock in the afternoon.
When Mushang was driving from the grocery store to the commercial center of the Second Ring Road, at the request of Shen Lang, Shang Yuxian slowed down the speed of the car and drove at a slow speed on the side of the road.
The child seat in the back seat was folded to one side, Xiao Tuanzi lay on his big brother's lap and fell asleep in the dark, while Shen Lang stared at the shop on the side of the road and saw a unique and distinctive signboard from afar.
"Yes! Stop at the intersection ahead."
The commercial driver had no choice but to look for a parking space.
"What are you buying?
Mulsanne stopped on the sidewalk, Shang Yuxian looked to the left, a knitting shop, and to the right, a tobacco, alcohol and gift shop.
Pulling on the handbrake, Shang Yuxian turned around and said, "You have already prepared a lot of gifts, and there are more cigarettes and alcohol at home, so there is no need to buy anything else, they don't lack anything."
His eyes fell on the young man's face, and he found that San Lang was staring at a small shop in front of him.
You can't tell what it is from the decoration of the store, it is fancy, and the signboard says: Mom said to pay attention to safety.
Shang Yuxian wondered: "Maternity and baby products? For children? What to buy?"
Shen Lang looked down at the sleeping Xiaotuanzi, moved his body forward, and whispered, "That, that..."
"Which one?"
"That's..." San Lang pointed to the signboard, "Note, attention, safety...safety...the following four words."
"what?"
Shang Yuxian frowned, followed the direction of San Lang's finger, and looked through the car window.
Couple supplies.
Shang Yuxian: "..."
What happened to the uncle's face?
Shen Lang originally wanted to buy online, but the online store will not deliver the goods until after the eighth day of the lunar new year. I have been too busy preparing for the new year in the past two days, so I forgot this important matter.Until last night, watching half of the Transformers, the child fell asleep next to it.
After turning off the light, the quilt was covered, and the two of them rolled together again, not even daring to make a sound. The sneaking was too exciting, and both of them were not very well. At the critical moment, they remembered the unprepared supplies for the couple. Not only that, He didn't even have a tissue at hand, and in the end even the handkerchief in Shang Yuxian's pocket became hard.
If you don't buy it today, it will be delayed until the next year.
Two men, burning fire and dry wood.
How many times did Shen Lang have to press the arrow on the string.
want him.
If this goes on like this, you will soon get sick.
What after a year, what to consider for the body, no matter so much.
Shen Lang puffed out his chest, as if he was about to go to the battlefield, and said stiffly: "I must buy my equipment, I think...then what, use..."
Shang Yuxian: "..."
The slender eyes glanced at him, Shang Yuxian turned his head away, his eyes blinked twice quickly, and the tips of his ears gradually turned red.
Shen Lang held the child in his arms, not daring to wake her up, Xiaotuanzi would cry when she was woken up in the middle of sleep, and would compete with her father when she woke up.
Shang Yuxian whispered: "I understand, don't go in."
After finishing speaking, he got out of the car, faced the door of the store, stood there for two seconds, as if he was brewing some emotions, suddenly looked serious, like the leader inspecting the work, stepped up the steps, and disappeared into the sex shop in the gate.
Get it done!
San Lang waited nervously in the car for a few minutes.
Not long after, Shang Yuxian came out with an uneasy expression, with nothing in his hands, and he didn't get in the car when he walked to the side.
Shen Lang covered Xiaotuanzi's face with a scarf, lowered the car window, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Shang Yuxian leaned over, his face was blushing, and he didn't look at Shen Lang, "The shopping guide asked, before or after?"
Shen Lang was also infected into embarrassment: "Of course, the pre-event...after-event clean-up is also necessary!"
Shang Yuxian straightened up, turned around and walked back.
It is the first time for a middle-aged man to buy this product, which shows how indifferent he should be to "sex".
San Lang waited nervously for a while.
This time it was a bit longer, Shang Yuxian came out with a paper bag, got into the car and stuffed it into the back seat of San Lang in a panic, and started the engine as if fleeing: "Let's go."
Tao Huayan couldn't hide her smile: "Well, let's go."
Drive up the road.
Like a big cat stealing fish, the young man lowered his head and opened the paper bag with "Mom said to be safe".
"Mafulon! Misty Grass!"
He blurted out, and because he was too shocked, he threw it out casually, and "slapped" it fell on the bridge.
Look again, there are several boxes of contraceptive pills in the big paper bag.
Shang Yuxian was taken aback, and raised his eyes to look at the rearview mirror: "What's wrong?"
Shen Lang said with a wooden face: "..."
Shang Yuxian: "???"
Just 10 minutes ago.
The shopping guide girl who "mother said to be careful" saw a well-dressed gentleman enter the store. He didn't go in, but stood still at the door.
The girl looked at Shang Yuxian with bright eyes, and greeted him enthusiastically——If I have such a man, why should I pay attention to safety, and resolutely give him a monkey!
The girl dressed hotly: "Sir, is there anything I can help you with?"
Shang Yuxian stared at the ground in front of him, exuding a strong aura all over his body: "Prevention, contraception... that, that."
The girl smiled coquettishly: "Who uses it, specifically..."
Shang Yuxian: "Love."
The girl blinked: "Oh, before the event, or after the event?"
Shang Yuxian was silent, turned around and left.
Girl: "?????"
It wasn't long before the man returned.
Shang Yuxian lowered his eyes and stared at the girl's toes: "He said, all of them, if you want them, wrap them all up."
The girl smiled and looked at the man's flushed face: "Okay, we also represent big brands here," she said, and walked into the store, took a bunch of medicines in powder boxes and blue boxes, "I'll give you a little raincoat, gentlemen."
With a cold face, Shang Yuxian swiped his card, took the paper bag, turned around and left without even looking at it.
then--
Well, alas.
After listening to Shang Yuxian's simple narration, the face of San Lang in the back seat turned red, black, and white...
Shang Yuxian glanced at the powder box that was thrown off the bridge in confusion: "What's the matter, it's a big brand, but it doesn't work?"
Shen Lang covered his face: "Whether it works or not, hehe, we will never know for the rest of our lives..."
Looking down at the big brands in the paper bag, and the only small case as a gift, I seem to hear them laughing strangely at me "ho ho ho ho" like an auditory hallucination.
Inexplicably, he felt that there was a sharp gaze in the distance, staring at him.
This is impulsive punishment.
retribution.
Proper retribution!
The villain in my heart knelt down and pleaded guilty, crying——
mother-in-law.
I know it's wrong.
I shouldn't have bought all of your son's stuff before visiting you.
Taicho District is where rich people live, surrounded by mountains and rivers. Mushang drove a long way, entered a gate, and opened in the garden for another 2 minutes before seeing Shang Yuxian's parents' villa.
The two of them brewed their emotions in the car for a while. Shang Yuxian got out of the car first and opened the car door for Shen Lang. The young man walked around to the trunk to carry the New Year's goods and gifts, and Shang Yuxian was in charge of holding the child.
Before I could ring the doorbell, the aunt at home opened the door.
"Mother Li, happy Chinese New Year." Shang Yuxian said.
"Happy New Year, mother-in-law." Xiaotuanzi was still awake, a little listless.
"Okay, okay! Oh, are you getting fat?" Li's mother was fat, smiling joyfully, took the child in Shang Yuxian's arms, looked at the person behind him, her eyes became distracted, and she smiled again , "This is..."
"Mother Li, happy Chinese New Year." Shen Lang greeted her.
"Hello, hurry up, come into the house."
The two changed their shoes and entered the living room.
The business mother sat on the sofa with a big smile on her face.
When the car was just parked outside, Shang's mother had a serious face, and looked at the window for a long time. Whether she was willing to accept it was one thing, but she still had to live on the surface.
In fact, when the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law meet for the first time, the daughter-in-law is nervous, and the mother-in-law is also nervous, and the business mother is the more nervous and serious type.
Until I saw a long-legged, handsome young man getting out of the car.
After two days of mental construction, I was caught off guard by this sight.
lad?
The business mother was stunned in the living room for a long time before she realized that her son said that he brought a child, was he really a "friend"?
She sat on the sofa: "Xiaoyu, bring your friend over."
Before Shan Lang was holding the gift free, he stepped forward and bowed: "Auntie, Happy Chinese New Year, my name is Shen Lang, just call me Xiao Lang."
Shang's mother smiled: "Happy Chinese New Year, please sit down."
The other two aunts in the family served tea to the three of them in silence.
"This is a gift for you and uncle." San Lang handed over several big bags, "I don't know if you like it or not."
"Little boy, what money do you want him to spend?" Shang's mother looked at Shang Yuxian, "You really don't stay at home to watch the night?"
"No, I'll take my things and leave. Shan Lang, accompany me upstairs." Shang Yuxian didn't have a smile on his face, and pulled Shen Lang to the direction of the stairs, "Let the child go to bed, or he will stay up late at night."
San Lang: "..."
When he had no time to sit down, Shen Lang hurriedly handed all the gift bags to Mama Li, smiled apologetically at Mama Shang, and was almost dragged forward by Shang Yuxian.
There is no gossip between the son and himself.
Shang's mother looked at the backs of the two with love and hatred.
Suddenly, her gaze froze, and Mother Shang stared blankly for a while, until the two of them disappeared at the turn of the stairs...
……
"Mrs?"
"Mrs!"
Shang's mother came back to her senses, and then she looked away, sitting on the sofa in a daze.
Mother Li looked at her pale face: "Madam, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay." The business mother took the gift bag from Mama Li's hand, and took out a wool-collared cashmere coat with a very western color, as well as a long winter dress, leather boots, and a bag.
Shang's mother was dazzled: "This color is too young."
Shang's mother is 68 years old. She is tall, fair-skinned, and well-proportioned. She takes good care of herself and doesn't look old at all.Although she married into a merchant at the age of 20, she knows that it is not easy for a wealthy clan wife, and her every move is watched by others. She usually wears more earth-colored underwear. When will she wear this style of fashion?
Mother Li smiled so hard that she couldn't see her teeth: "Oh, ma'am, this coat is so fashionable, and this dress is made of really good fabrics. You can look 20 years younger when you wear it. Try it out and show us." Look."
Shang's mother dodged embarrassingly: "When did I wear this kind of..."
"It's not too late to wear it now. The child is older, so you should enjoy it," Li's mother gestured to her, but Shang's mother couldn't refuse, so she had to go to the nearest guest room to change.
When she turned to look in the mirror, Mother Shang was in a daze.
Mother Li applauded: "The whole person looks energetic, and his complexion has brightened a lot, it looks good!"
Shang's mother looked at the woman in the mirror, her hair was baked and her hair was no longer gray, but her wrinkles were deep, but she could still vaguely see her youthful appearance.
How many sisters used to envy her for her high marriage, but only myself in this position knows the difficulty. Even if I want to wear a dress I like, I have to think about it for several days.
The business mother's eyes were soft, and she raised her hand to look at the brand's price. It's not particularly expensive, but she can definitely show her elders: "Xiaoyu's kid is very good at shopping, and I don't know who gave him the idea. The son must not understand this."
Mother Li nodded straightly: "Madam is so beautiful! When the master comes back, let him have a look!"
Shang's mother suddenly turned her head: "Tell me, why did Xiaoyu bring him back? He has never brought friends back, just Li Weiyang, and that kid still depends on my son."
Mother Li was stunned.
Mother Shang had no expression on her face: "Didn't you see that they are wearing the same ring?"
Mother Li: "?????"
When he reached the jogging platform on the second floor, San Lang stopped and looked at the countless awards and photos on the wall. They were awards that Shang Yuxian had received since he was a child. For awards like gizmos, some of the paper has turned yellow, and they are pasted there as if telling a story from the past.
The uncle's bedroom has not been lived in for a long time, and it is similar to the guest room in Longting No. 11, with shades of white and simple decoration.
After visiting the bedroom, the young man sat face to face with Shang Yuxian at the small round table.
The aunt knocked on the door and brought coffee and pastries.
"Where's my dad?" Shang Yuxian asked.
"I went fishing with my old friends in the club." The aunt replied, "He said he will be back at four o'clock in the afternoon. Would you wait for him a little longer?"
Shang Yuxian: "When will the two uncles come?"
Aunt: "It will be about six o'clock, and I will leave on the first morning of the first day of the new year."
Shang Yuxian: "Tell my mom, I'll leave before four o'clock."
Aunt: "Yes."
Shen Lang looked at Shang Yuxian silently, it would not be accurate to say that the relationship between the other party and his family is not good, but the mother and son are quite polite, just feel... a little alienated?
Auntie arranged the coffee and snacks, removed the tray, turned and walked towards the door of the bedroom.
As soon as the aunt went out, she raised her eyes and was stunned.
The wife and mother Li came up at some time, and they were standing at the door of Shang Yuxian's bedroom, not intending to go in, so they made a wink to tell the aunt to leave first.
The door opened a crack.
Mother Shang stood there calmly.
in the bedroom.
Shen Lang lazily leaned on the chair. He was really exhausted in the past two days, so he took a snack to cushion his stomach: "What's the matter, if you don't tell your mother in person, what's the point of letting others pass the message?"
Shang Yuxian took a sip of coffee: "I'm used to it."
Shen Lang sighed: "Your house is too big. When I was young, I couldn't see my parents three times a day. Like our ordinary people's house, it's about a hundred square meters. You don't see them when you look up, and you see them when you look down. You are much closer to your parents."
Shang Yuxian: "It has nothing to do with size, my family education is strict."
Shen Lang: "So even if you have afternoon tea, you have to hide upstairs and eat by yourself? Is it okay to leave mom downstairs alone?"
Shang Yuxian smiled: "It's been like this since I was a child."
San Lang was silent for a while.
"I haven't sat down to eat with my mum in 15 years."
The young man spoke in a low voice.
Shang Yuxian looked up at him.
Shen Lang: "I forgot when exactly it started, maybe in the third or fourth grade of elementary school. After all, my grandparents are from the next generation. I almost always stay alone, eat alone, go to and from school alone, and study alone... Shang Yuxian, can you understand it?"
Shang Yuxian lowered his eyes and shook his head.
Since I was a child, I was forced by my business mother to "wear an extra layer", "wear thicker and thicker when the weather changes", and "bring an umbrella". These are really headaches.
Shang Yuxian put down the coffee cup in his hand, and explained: "There are too many people at the dinner table, I can't eat."
"The strong emotions established at the dining table are very important," the young man slouched on his chair, adding a bunch of creamer and sugar cubes to his coffee cup, "What is the most important thing for human beings? ——To survive by filling one's stomach. Some people may think that San Lang knows how to eat and eat in one day, but I always think that eating is very important, very, very important. Because eating is very important, so when you can eat enough, you will be very happy , so... people who can share table time together must be very important people, and the big families in TV dramas only get together when they eat."
Seeing the other party's serious expression, Shang Yuxian couldn't help laughing.
Shen Lang: "Old Shang, what does that contemptuous 'ch' from your nose just mean?"
Shang Yuxian: "I want to say that for many elders, eating is the best time to teach their children. For those who have been preaching at the dining table all year round, 'come over to eat' is equivalent to ' The hour has come', it's almost Judgment Day, don't get too fancy."
"Because you have family, do you feel that family is redundant?"
"I never felt my family was redundant, just heavy..."
"Is heaviness a burden, a burden, or something you want to get rid of?"
"no……"
Speaking of this, Shang Yuxian frowned and thought about it, then said with a smile:
"My mother, as you have seen, is a very strict mother. When I was young, basically, every time I ate, I would be educated by her. I always eat with my head down— —When I get the first place in the class, I will ask how many points the first place in the grade is; if I get the first place in the school, I will ask how many points the first place in the city is... After being admitted to a key high school, let me give up all the friends who failed the high school entrance examination. When eating breakfast, even the collar of the shirt is not turned properly, and the cuffs are a little wrinkled, and I will be seriously ridiculed... So, my biggest wish since I was a child was to leave home, never eat at home, and never go to restaurants with my family , Later, I finally went abroad."
Shen Lang was stunned for a while, then smiled and praised: "Mr. Shang, I think it is because of your mother's hard work that you have received a formal, serious, and elite family education since childhood, so you are now such a well-dressed man." , A well-spoken gentleman."
Shang Yuxian: "..."
Proper and elegant.
The way children praise others is also too direct.
Shang Yuxian lowered his eyes, and the tips of his ears gradually turned red.
Shen Lang: "Compared to many useless and discouraged uncles, Shang Yuxian, you are so handsome, rich, capable, intelligent and outstanding. If your mother hadn't educated you like that, would you be like this now? "
Handsome and excellent.
Shang Yuxian: "..."
Shen Lang asked again: "Then are you happy after going abroad? Is the food more delicious than at home?"
"It's okay." Shang Yuxian replied casually.
"Really? Really okay?"
"Of course, I ate almost all the restaurants near the university, spent all day in the library, and was so free that I didn't even go back to the dormitory."
"Because the foreign dormitory is quiet, so you don't want to go back?"
"No."
"Because I miss my parents very much, so living in a dormitory in a foreign country will feel very lonely, right?"
"no……"
"So you dare not go back?"
"Do not……"
"It's clear that I dare not go back!"
"Are you a repeater?"
What's the situation now, I was constantly asked by the children.
Shen Lang still didn't give up: "Just admit it, would a 'home' without a family be called a 'home'? Didn't uncle cry secretly because he missed his mother when he was abroad?"
Shang Yuxian was powerless: "San Lang..."
"Actually, most families are like yours, right? Unlike me, there are only grandparents in the family, no parents."
The young man thought for a while, then said:
"Although I don't know exactly what it's like to be taught harshly by my mother, but Ning Roujia, the class leader in Tangtang's class, has a very strict mother, and she is the female boss of a catering company. I heard with my own ears, that woman said to Ning Roujia—'How can you be so stupid', 'Is your head a lace ball', 'You can only take the first place and be the squad leader, and everyone behind No.1 The rankings are called losers'..."
Shang Yuxian was stunned.
Nowadays, they are all pampering their children, and there are such parents?
Ning Roujia is only five years old, right?
"Anyway, I was delivering goods to the kindergarten, and when I heard Ning Roujia's mother scold her, I thought, this woman is really too much, such a parent..."
Speaking of it.
Shang's mother, who was standing not far from the door, clenched her fists.
Seeing this, Mother Li hurriedly opened the door to interrupt them.
Mother Shang stopped her, stood at the door and continued to listen—
"...But, at the parent-child sports meeting last time, Ning Roujia signed up for a long-distance run, because no one in the Sunflower class was willing to run that, so she raised her hand, the child said, because her mother told her that even everyone couldn't do it She must do what she has come to do! You came late that day, and you didn’t see that Ning Roujia fell down when she ran the first lap in the small playground. Later, that mother who often scolded her, never Squeezing out from the audience, without saying a word of blame, they helped the child up, cheered her on, and ran with her—she was wearing high heels and a professional skirt, running, running, and running beside Ning Roujia. After running two laps with the child and reaching the finish line, when she got off the track, she sat on the ground, took off her shoes, and her toes were covered in blood."
Shang Yuxian was touched and looked at those peachy eyes.
Shen Lang smiled: "Shang Yuxian, when your mother teaches you and urges you to work hard, you only notice your own feelings. Have you seen that in fact, your mother has always been by your side, and she is always there for you? Come on!"
Shang Yuxian: "..."
"So, the mother who finds faults all day long gives you the most "criticism" and is the most annoying, but isn't the "cheering" that mother gives you the most among all the people in the world?"
The young man stuffed half of the egg tart into his mouth and chewed it happily while speaking.
"Although, sometimes family members will put a lot of pressure on me, but family members are also the people who give me the greatest encouragement, aren't they?"
San Lang stared at him——
"Shang Yuxian, when we get married in the future, we become family members, and each other and our children will become a heavy burden on each other's shoulders, right? You also said that family is not just a responsibility and obligation. Sometimes It is heavy and makes people feel very tired. However, this heavy burden is also the biggest and biggest motivation for us not to lose heart, not to admit defeat, and to work hard no matter how hard it is, isn’t it?”
The room was quiet for a while, and the two had a moment of silence.
Outside.
Shang's mother had no expression on her face, but Li's mother noticed that her eyes seemed to be filled with tears.
After a long time, the young man's voice came out again——
Shen Lang: "So... so... There are many small awards on the wall in the corridor, are they all hung up by my mother?"
Shang Yuxian: "That kind of willful thing..."
Shen Lang: "So, burdens are actually sweet."
Shang Yuxian thought of the family portrait on the living room wall on the first floor.
In that huge photo, only Mr. Shang was smiling happily, Mrs. Shang had a straight face, and Shang Yuxian himself was as expressionless as a wax figure.I still remember that before and after this photo was taken, my mother was very unhappy because of his insistence on going abroad.At that time, he always thought that there was nothing worth staying here, and it didn't matter where he went, as long as he could leave his parents and leave home.
Later, something happened to the family business, so I had to rush back.
Shang Yuxian even thought about just settling in the United States.
When I was young, I painted portraits for the first time, and the proposition was "My Mother". At that time, the teacher was very worried about his homework, so I asked Shang's mother to go to school to talk.The business mother, who is the wife of a businessman, held the untitled painting and said in a proud tone: "My son's painting is undoubtedly the best in the school! Obviously, he is more creative than other children! In addition, this is ...Liao Zhai?"
——This is Shang Yuxian's most interesting memories about "mother" abroad alone.
Every time I think about it, I can laugh.
San Lang broke the egg tart in half, took a bite and chewed it in his mouth.
"You came back from studying abroad. You used to be a super perverted top student, right?"
"Can your adjectives be less sharp?"
"Uncle used to be the most coquettish young man in the class, right?"
"Hey."
"Pocket money, new clothes, new mobile phones and laptops, are you the first to get them?"
Shang Yuxian: "..."
The kid just talked about himself, not listening to others at all.
"Shang Yuxian, you are obviously a very, very happy child with enviable things, but you act very indifferent, and you don't like to talk to your mother. You are really disgusting."
Shang Yuxian: "..."
"Tangtang has an art book, and there is a sentence in it, which I think is very good—" San Lang ignored his expression: "I can't see the theme of a painting clearly because I ignore the background."
The young man's voice was too small to be heard clearly.
"Shang Yuxian, the background of the painting "Happiness" is other people's misfortune. There must be something at the bottom. Have you seen other people's misfortune?"
Shang Yuxian: "..."
He remembered that on the wall of the stairway, there were large and small photo frames inlaid with awards and certificates.
That is the "absolute domain" of Shangmu.
Every time relatives, friends, business partners, girlfriends and sisters come to the house as guests, the business mother will show off and say, "I have beautiful flowers on the roof of my house, let me show you there."When going up the stairs, Shang's mother walked in front, her steps slowed down, her heels touched her toes, and she walked in small floral steps, as if she was waiting for the other party to praise "ah, these are Xiaoyu's awards", "your son It's amazing", "International competition", and then, Shang's mother quickened her pace and continued to go up the stairs, with a straight face, and said coldly: "Nonsense, things for children to play, and the grades in school are the most important thing." of!"
——The reason why all the potted plants in the yard and garden were moved to the roof.
Shang Yuxian finished his coffee and stood up: "On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I will bring Tangtang back again and eat here."
When Shen Lang heard this, he laughed immediately: "Really? Is what you said true?"
"Yeah." Shang Yuxian's voice was very low, "Have dinner with mom... I haven't had dinner with my parents for a long time. You will accompany grandpa in the shop for the Lantern Festival, and I won't bring you any You came."
Shen Lang nodded hurriedly: "Okay, don't take me with you, you have to get along with your mother well, the son wants to raise but he doesn't want to be close, remember?"
Shang Yuxian rubbed his forehead: "Got it."
heard here.
The business mother at the door held her breath and went downstairs as if fleeing.
Back in the bedroom, the woman sat on the bed, tears falling down, and she couldn't stop it.
The son is not close to her, how helpless she has been these years, no one has cared about her situation.Everyone is accusing her behind her back, saying that she only cares about her own status and doesn't care about her children. She knows all this... However, with such a big family and such a big business, if her son is not good enough, what will happen in the future? manage?
Just like the ancient prince, if he is deposed, what are the chances of surviving?
This is all in the past, and the son has also taken over the power of the merchant. Although he is still not close to him, he is at least safe, isn't he? How much hope is there for a relationship.
Thought I didn't care anymore.
Unexpectedly, amidst the young man's questioning of her son, she was so wronged that she couldn't help crying.
I don't know how long the tears flowed.
Mother Shang glanced at the time, wiped her face in a hurry, took out a big red envelope from the closet, took off the only sapphire ring on her hand, and stuffed it with a thick wad of money.
Heard footsteps on the stairs.
The door knocked quickly: "Mom... let's go, I will bring the child back on fifteenth."
"Oh, wait," Shang's mother opened the door, looked down at her son, stuffed the red envelope into his arms, and whispered, "Don't tell your father about your affairs, I'll tell him."
Shang Yuxian: "?????"
Shang's mother raised her eyes: "He is a good boy, I like him very much."
Shang Yuxian: "..."
Shen Lang went downstairs slowly, saw Mrs. Shang standing at the door of the master bedroom, and hurriedly ran forward, "Auntie, what's wrong with your eyes..."
"No, nothing..."
Shen Lang lowered his head to look at her carefully, and coaxed in a low voice: "Auntie, if you feel unwell, you must call Shang Yuxian and ask him to take you to see a doctor. Don't be afraid of delaying the child's time - he is your son, yes You, he is on call 24 hours a day! By the way, you can also call me, let him tell you my mobile phone number."
Shang's mother choked her throat: "...OK."
"That..." Shen Lang was a little apprehensive, and asked cautiously, "Mother Shang, do you like the clothes I chose for you?"
Shang's mother nodded: "I like it, really, I like it very much, I will put it on tonight."
"Really, really?" Shen Lang was stunned for a moment, clenched his fist and smashed it into his palm, "That's great! I saw your photo, and I thought you must be beautiful in that! That's great!"
Mother Shang was moved by the young man's smile, and laughed too.
"—Big brother, big brother, I woke up!"
Hearing Tangtang's call, San Lang hurriedly said: "Then, then I'll go first, there is a grandfather at home, I have to go back and cook him New Year's Eve dinner."
The business mother's eyes were soft: "Be careful on the road."
"Okay," the young man stomped downstairs, ran downstairs, caught the little dumpling that rushed over and held it up high, "Did you sleep soundly, big brother will take you out for a walk in the garden," looking back at the supportive Shang Yuxian, whose mother went down the stairs: "I will take the children out for a walk, and gather at the garden fork."
Shang Yuxian: "Okay."
Watching the young man leave the house with the child in his arms.
Shang Yuxian turned around: "Did you hear that?"
Shang's mother stared at him: "I'm at the door, you already know?"
Shang Yuxian smiled: "Yes."
Business mother: "Have you figured it out?"
Shang Yuxian nodded: "Yes."
Shang's mother looked at his expression: "Do you like him?"
Shang Yuxian looked directly into her eyes: "I love him deeply."
Shang's mother was silent for a while, then nodded: "You can figure it out, anyway, you have a child, and you can live on your own in the future. I will find a way for your father."
Both mother and son had no expressions on their faces, nor were they in a calm mood.
Shang Yuxian was overjoyed, and walked out of the house, not allowing Shang's mother to send it out. He held Shang's mother's hand: "Mom, all these years, I know that you are doing it for my own good, but I just...not very good at expressing..."
Mother Shang's eyes turned hot, she turned her head away quickly: "Hurry up, don't make people wait, it's too cold outside."
"I'll come back on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Dad, I'll leave it to you." Shang Yuxian said, "By the way, he made an advertisement, which may be aired during the Chinese New Year..."
After hearing her son finished speaking, Shang's mother blinked, "Ask him what he wants to eat, what else is missing at home, call me, and I will ask the driver to take it to Longting."
Shang Yuxian stopped walking down the steps, "By the way, he is a little anemic."
Shang's mother turned and went into the room: "Understood."
In Mulsanne's car.
Shang Yuxian turned around and handed the big thick red envelope to Shen Lang: "My mother gave it to you."
Shen Lang was embarrassed: "I'm already at work, so I can't accept the lucky money from my elders."
Shang Yuxian started the engine: "My mother gave you a gift for changing your mouth."
Shen Lang: "?????"
Shang Yuxian smiled in his eyes: "I don't remember? When you taught me, how many times did you call 'Mom, Mom'?"
Shen Lang's face turned pale: "...she, she...heard?"
Shang Yuxian smiled: "Who knows."
Shen Lang opened the red envelope, about 1 yuan: "This is the first time I have received such a large amount of lucky money..."
Then I saw a blue object falling out.
Shen Lang took a closer look and panicked: "Go back quickly, mom forgot the ring in the red envelope."
Shang Yuxian glanced back quickly, and immediately understood Shang's mother's intentions: "For you, it was given to her by my grandma... Well, it is SomethingBlue, after all, when the car is scrapped, Sapphire will not."
Looking at the gem the size of a pigeon egg, San Lang's head went numb: "Passed to the daughter-in-law?"
Shang Yuxian: "It was passed on to the merchant's clan wife."
Shen Lang looked confused: "...why, why? I wrote a plan to capture the mother-in-law, but I didn't do anything!"
Shang Yuxian's eyes were soft: "You have done a lot."
Shen Lang: "?????"
In the busiest year of the grocery store, a family of four just finished eating dumplings.
The Spring Festival Gala on the TV sang reunion songs. Amidst the sound of firecrackers on New Year’s Eve, San Lang and Tangtang sat on the big Korean Kang in the bedroom on the second floor, and pasted the last photo in a handmade photo album inside.
San Lang: "It's done!"
Xiaotuanzi: "It's so beautiful!"
Shen Lang asked Xiaotuanzi to look at the photo album, and went downstairs to find Shang Yuxian in the old man's bedroom.
Shang Yuxian was watching the Spring Festival Gala and eating fruit with the old man.
Shen Lang waved to him and asked him to come to the door: "Your ex-wife's WeChat, tell me, okay?"
Shang Yuxian was stunned for a moment, and didn't ask him what he was going to do. He took out his mobile phone to check, with a hint of guilt and explanation, hesitantly said: "San Lang, today, she may call me in the early morning, you answer Bar……"
Shen Lang got the other party's WeChat ID, turned around and left: "No, I'll contact her later."
Go back upstairs.
Shen Lang added Xie Yaqin's WeChat account.
After waiting for less than 10 minutes, the other party passed.
Sam Lang sent out a video invitation.
The other party agreed in seconds.
At the other end of the video, Xie Yaqin was wearing maternity clothes and sitting on the sofa. Before Shen Lang could speak, she smiled and said, "Happy Chinese New Year, Xiao Lang, I'll call you Xiao Lang, is that okay?"
Shen Lang nodded: "Then I'll call you Sister Xie."
"Okay, it's fine if you don't call me auntie," Xie Yaqin chuckled. Just as she was about to say a few more pleasantries, she saw a little brain appear in the video, and then Tangtang's smiling face appeared.
The woman froze for a moment, then stared at the phone in surprise, looking at the child's face: "Tangtang?"
Xiao Tuanzi climbed onto Shen Lang's lap and hugged his elder brother's waist: "Mom! Happy New Year, Mom!"
"Hey... hey!" Xie Yaqin's throat choked, "Happy New Year, baby."
Xiaotuanzi couldn't wait to show off, "Big Brother and I made a present together for Mom, we made it ourselves!"
"Really? What is it?"
"photo."
"what?"
Shen Lang took over the conversation: "Sister Xie, Tangtang is getting older every day, and I don't know how much she can remember when she grows up, I found some old photos of you here, and your alone photo , together with the photos in your Weibo album, I made a photo album, and I would look through it for her when I have nothing to do, so that she will always remember your appearance."
Xie Yaqin was surprised: "...Xiao Lang..."
"Sister Xie, I heard you won't come back," San Lang interrupted her, kissed Tangtang's forehead, and said with a smile, "I also made a photo album for Tangtang, and I plan to make one every year. If you don't mind, give me the address in the United States, and I'll mail it to you every year, she's still young, so she doesn't want to post photos online for now, okay?"
Xie Yaqin was silent for a while, sniffed: "Okay, okay, thank you, Xiao Lang."
"The cover of the photo album was planed by myself after I found a good piece of wood, Tangtang installed it, and we finished it together from the beginning to the end." Shen Lang opened the wooden photo album page by page and showed it to the camera, " These photos are almost all taken by me, Tangtang’s basic necessities of life, learning and playing, joys, sorrows and joys... Sister Xie, I will definitely take good care of her until the day when I can’t walk anymore and can’t take care of her, please rest assured .”
"Uh-huh!"
Xie Yaqin suddenly covered her face and cried out loudly.
"If you need to find Tangtang for something, Shang Yuxian is too busy to answer the phone, you can call me, and I will send you the number—you know, he is a person who can't take care of others when he's working I know more about Tangtang than he does, and if she has anything to do, we can discuss it."
Xie Yaqin nodded again and again: "I wanted to talk to you before, but I was afraid you would mind... In the future, we can contact directly, can we? After all... After all, I am a woman... He won't mind, right?"
Shen Lang was embarrassed: "Are you afraid that he will...be jealous of me and you? How is it possible?"
Xie Yaqin nodded seriously: "He is serious about you."
San Lang: "..."
At this time, footsteps came from the other end of the video, and a man with yellow hair came over.
Xie Yaqin wiped away her tears, letting
When Mushang was driving from the grocery store to the commercial center of the Second Ring Road, at the request of Shen Lang, Shang Yuxian slowed down the speed of the car and drove at a slow speed on the side of the road.
The child seat in the back seat was folded to one side, Xiao Tuanzi lay on his big brother's lap and fell asleep in the dark, while Shen Lang stared at the shop on the side of the road and saw a unique and distinctive signboard from afar.
"Yes! Stop at the intersection ahead."
The commercial driver had no choice but to look for a parking space.
"What are you buying?
Mulsanne stopped on the sidewalk, Shang Yuxian looked to the left, a knitting shop, and to the right, a tobacco, alcohol and gift shop.
Pulling on the handbrake, Shang Yuxian turned around and said, "You have already prepared a lot of gifts, and there are more cigarettes and alcohol at home, so there is no need to buy anything else, they don't lack anything."
His eyes fell on the young man's face, and he found that San Lang was staring at a small shop in front of him.
You can't tell what it is from the decoration of the store, it is fancy, and the signboard says: Mom said to pay attention to safety.
Shang Yuxian wondered: "Maternity and baby products? For children? What to buy?"
Shen Lang looked down at the sleeping Xiaotuanzi, moved his body forward, and whispered, "That, that..."
"Which one?"
"That's..." San Lang pointed to the signboard, "Note, attention, safety...safety...the following four words."
"what?"
Shang Yuxian frowned, followed the direction of San Lang's finger, and looked through the car window.
Couple supplies.
Shang Yuxian: "..."
What happened to the uncle's face?
Shen Lang originally wanted to buy online, but the online store will not deliver the goods until after the eighth day of the lunar new year. I have been too busy preparing for the new year in the past two days, so I forgot this important matter.Until last night, watching half of the Transformers, the child fell asleep next to it.
After turning off the light, the quilt was covered, and the two of them rolled together again, not even daring to make a sound. The sneaking was too exciting, and both of them were not very well. At the critical moment, they remembered the unprepared supplies for the couple. Not only that, He didn't even have a tissue at hand, and in the end even the handkerchief in Shang Yuxian's pocket became hard.
If you don't buy it today, it will be delayed until the next year.
Two men, burning fire and dry wood.
How many times did Shen Lang have to press the arrow on the string.
want him.
If this goes on like this, you will soon get sick.
What after a year, what to consider for the body, no matter so much.
Shen Lang puffed out his chest, as if he was about to go to the battlefield, and said stiffly: "I must buy my equipment, I think...then what, use..."
Shang Yuxian: "..."
The slender eyes glanced at him, Shang Yuxian turned his head away, his eyes blinked twice quickly, and the tips of his ears gradually turned red.
Shen Lang held the child in his arms, not daring to wake her up, Xiaotuanzi would cry when she was woken up in the middle of sleep, and would compete with her father when she woke up.
Shang Yuxian whispered: "I understand, don't go in."
After finishing speaking, he got out of the car, faced the door of the store, stood there for two seconds, as if he was brewing some emotions, suddenly looked serious, like the leader inspecting the work, stepped up the steps, and disappeared into the sex shop in the gate.
Get it done!
San Lang waited nervously in the car for a few minutes.
Not long after, Shang Yuxian came out with an uneasy expression, with nothing in his hands, and he didn't get in the car when he walked to the side.
Shen Lang covered Xiaotuanzi's face with a scarf, lowered the car window, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Shang Yuxian leaned over, his face was blushing, and he didn't look at Shen Lang, "The shopping guide asked, before or after?"
Shen Lang was also infected into embarrassment: "Of course, the pre-event...after-event clean-up is also necessary!"
Shang Yuxian straightened up, turned around and walked back.
It is the first time for a middle-aged man to buy this product, which shows how indifferent he should be to "sex".
San Lang waited nervously for a while.
This time it was a bit longer, Shang Yuxian came out with a paper bag, got into the car and stuffed it into the back seat of San Lang in a panic, and started the engine as if fleeing: "Let's go."
Tao Huayan couldn't hide her smile: "Well, let's go."
Drive up the road.
Like a big cat stealing fish, the young man lowered his head and opened the paper bag with "Mom said to be safe".
"Mafulon! Misty Grass!"
He blurted out, and because he was too shocked, he threw it out casually, and "slapped" it fell on the bridge.
Look again, there are several boxes of contraceptive pills in the big paper bag.
Shang Yuxian was taken aback, and raised his eyes to look at the rearview mirror: "What's wrong?"
Shen Lang said with a wooden face: "..."
Shang Yuxian: "???"
Just 10 minutes ago.
The shopping guide girl who "mother said to be careful" saw a well-dressed gentleman enter the store. He didn't go in, but stood still at the door.
The girl looked at Shang Yuxian with bright eyes, and greeted him enthusiastically——If I have such a man, why should I pay attention to safety, and resolutely give him a monkey!
The girl dressed hotly: "Sir, is there anything I can help you with?"
Shang Yuxian stared at the ground in front of him, exuding a strong aura all over his body: "Prevention, contraception... that, that."
The girl smiled coquettishly: "Who uses it, specifically..."
Shang Yuxian: "Love."
The girl blinked: "Oh, before the event, or after the event?"
Shang Yuxian was silent, turned around and left.
Girl: "?????"
It wasn't long before the man returned.
Shang Yuxian lowered his eyes and stared at the girl's toes: "He said, all of them, if you want them, wrap them all up."
The girl smiled and looked at the man's flushed face: "Okay, we also represent big brands here," she said, and walked into the store, took a bunch of medicines in powder boxes and blue boxes, "I'll give you a little raincoat, gentlemen."
With a cold face, Shang Yuxian swiped his card, took the paper bag, turned around and left without even looking at it.
then--
Well, alas.
After listening to Shang Yuxian's simple narration, the face of San Lang in the back seat turned red, black, and white...
Shang Yuxian glanced at the powder box that was thrown off the bridge in confusion: "What's the matter, it's a big brand, but it doesn't work?"
Shen Lang covered his face: "Whether it works or not, hehe, we will never know for the rest of our lives..."
Looking down at the big brands in the paper bag, and the only small case as a gift, I seem to hear them laughing strangely at me "ho ho ho ho" like an auditory hallucination.
Inexplicably, he felt that there was a sharp gaze in the distance, staring at him.
This is impulsive punishment.
retribution.
Proper retribution!
The villain in my heart knelt down and pleaded guilty, crying——
mother-in-law.
I know it's wrong.
I shouldn't have bought all of your son's stuff before visiting you.
Taicho District is where rich people live, surrounded by mountains and rivers. Mushang drove a long way, entered a gate, and opened in the garden for another 2 minutes before seeing Shang Yuxian's parents' villa.
The two of them brewed their emotions in the car for a while. Shang Yuxian got out of the car first and opened the car door for Shen Lang. The young man walked around to the trunk to carry the New Year's goods and gifts, and Shang Yuxian was in charge of holding the child.
Before I could ring the doorbell, the aunt at home opened the door.
"Mother Li, happy Chinese New Year." Shang Yuxian said.
"Happy New Year, mother-in-law." Xiaotuanzi was still awake, a little listless.
"Okay, okay! Oh, are you getting fat?" Li's mother was fat, smiling joyfully, took the child in Shang Yuxian's arms, looked at the person behind him, her eyes became distracted, and she smiled again , "This is..."
"Mother Li, happy Chinese New Year." Shen Lang greeted her.
"Hello, hurry up, come into the house."
The two changed their shoes and entered the living room.
The business mother sat on the sofa with a big smile on her face.
When the car was just parked outside, Shang's mother had a serious face, and looked at the window for a long time. Whether she was willing to accept it was one thing, but she still had to live on the surface.
In fact, when the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law meet for the first time, the daughter-in-law is nervous, and the mother-in-law is also nervous, and the business mother is the more nervous and serious type.
Until I saw a long-legged, handsome young man getting out of the car.
After two days of mental construction, I was caught off guard by this sight.
lad?
The business mother was stunned in the living room for a long time before she realized that her son said that he brought a child, was he really a "friend"?
She sat on the sofa: "Xiaoyu, bring your friend over."
Before Shan Lang was holding the gift free, he stepped forward and bowed: "Auntie, Happy Chinese New Year, my name is Shen Lang, just call me Xiao Lang."
Shang's mother smiled: "Happy Chinese New Year, please sit down."
The other two aunts in the family served tea to the three of them in silence.
"This is a gift for you and uncle." San Lang handed over several big bags, "I don't know if you like it or not."
"Little boy, what money do you want him to spend?" Shang's mother looked at Shang Yuxian, "You really don't stay at home to watch the night?"
"No, I'll take my things and leave. Shan Lang, accompany me upstairs." Shang Yuxian didn't have a smile on his face, and pulled Shen Lang to the direction of the stairs, "Let the child go to bed, or he will stay up late at night."
San Lang: "..."
When he had no time to sit down, Shen Lang hurriedly handed all the gift bags to Mama Li, smiled apologetically at Mama Shang, and was almost dragged forward by Shang Yuxian.
There is no gossip between the son and himself.
Shang's mother looked at the backs of the two with love and hatred.
Suddenly, her gaze froze, and Mother Shang stared blankly for a while, until the two of them disappeared at the turn of the stairs...
……
"Mrs?"
"Mrs!"
Shang's mother came back to her senses, and then she looked away, sitting on the sofa in a daze.
Mother Li looked at her pale face: "Madam, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay." The business mother took the gift bag from Mama Li's hand, and took out a wool-collared cashmere coat with a very western color, as well as a long winter dress, leather boots, and a bag.
Shang's mother was dazzled: "This color is too young."
Shang's mother is 68 years old. She is tall, fair-skinned, and well-proportioned. She takes good care of herself and doesn't look old at all.Although she married into a merchant at the age of 20, she knows that it is not easy for a wealthy clan wife, and her every move is watched by others. She usually wears more earth-colored underwear. When will she wear this style of fashion?
Mother Li smiled so hard that she couldn't see her teeth: "Oh, ma'am, this coat is so fashionable, and this dress is made of really good fabrics. You can look 20 years younger when you wear it. Try it out and show us." Look."
Shang's mother dodged embarrassingly: "When did I wear this kind of..."
"It's not too late to wear it now. The child is older, so you should enjoy it," Li's mother gestured to her, but Shang's mother couldn't refuse, so she had to go to the nearest guest room to change.
When she turned to look in the mirror, Mother Shang was in a daze.
Mother Li applauded: "The whole person looks energetic, and his complexion has brightened a lot, it looks good!"
Shang's mother looked at the woman in the mirror, her hair was baked and her hair was no longer gray, but her wrinkles were deep, but she could still vaguely see her youthful appearance.
How many sisters used to envy her for her high marriage, but only myself in this position knows the difficulty. Even if I want to wear a dress I like, I have to think about it for several days.
The business mother's eyes were soft, and she raised her hand to look at the brand's price. It's not particularly expensive, but she can definitely show her elders: "Xiaoyu's kid is very good at shopping, and I don't know who gave him the idea. The son must not understand this."
Mother Li nodded straightly: "Madam is so beautiful! When the master comes back, let him have a look!"
Shang's mother suddenly turned her head: "Tell me, why did Xiaoyu bring him back? He has never brought friends back, just Li Weiyang, and that kid still depends on my son."
Mother Li was stunned.
Mother Shang had no expression on her face: "Didn't you see that they are wearing the same ring?"
Mother Li: "?????"
When he reached the jogging platform on the second floor, San Lang stopped and looked at the countless awards and photos on the wall. They were awards that Shang Yuxian had received since he was a child. For awards like gizmos, some of the paper has turned yellow, and they are pasted there as if telling a story from the past.
The uncle's bedroom has not been lived in for a long time, and it is similar to the guest room in Longting No. 11, with shades of white and simple decoration.
After visiting the bedroom, the young man sat face to face with Shang Yuxian at the small round table.
The aunt knocked on the door and brought coffee and pastries.
"Where's my dad?" Shang Yuxian asked.
"I went fishing with my old friends in the club." The aunt replied, "He said he will be back at four o'clock in the afternoon. Would you wait for him a little longer?"
Shang Yuxian: "When will the two uncles come?"
Aunt: "It will be about six o'clock, and I will leave on the first morning of the first day of the new year."
Shang Yuxian: "Tell my mom, I'll leave before four o'clock."
Aunt: "Yes."
Shen Lang looked at Shang Yuxian silently, it would not be accurate to say that the relationship between the other party and his family is not good, but the mother and son are quite polite, just feel... a little alienated?
Auntie arranged the coffee and snacks, removed the tray, turned and walked towards the door of the bedroom.
As soon as the aunt went out, she raised her eyes and was stunned.
The wife and mother Li came up at some time, and they were standing at the door of Shang Yuxian's bedroom, not intending to go in, so they made a wink to tell the aunt to leave first.
The door opened a crack.
Mother Shang stood there calmly.
in the bedroom.
Shen Lang lazily leaned on the chair. He was really exhausted in the past two days, so he took a snack to cushion his stomach: "What's the matter, if you don't tell your mother in person, what's the point of letting others pass the message?"
Shang Yuxian took a sip of coffee: "I'm used to it."
Shen Lang sighed: "Your house is too big. When I was young, I couldn't see my parents three times a day. Like our ordinary people's house, it's about a hundred square meters. You don't see them when you look up, and you see them when you look down. You are much closer to your parents."
Shang Yuxian: "It has nothing to do with size, my family education is strict."
Shen Lang: "So even if you have afternoon tea, you have to hide upstairs and eat by yourself? Is it okay to leave mom downstairs alone?"
Shang Yuxian smiled: "It's been like this since I was a child."
San Lang was silent for a while.
"I haven't sat down to eat with my mum in 15 years."
The young man spoke in a low voice.
Shang Yuxian looked up at him.
Shen Lang: "I forgot when exactly it started, maybe in the third or fourth grade of elementary school. After all, my grandparents are from the next generation. I almost always stay alone, eat alone, go to and from school alone, and study alone... Shang Yuxian, can you understand it?"
Shang Yuxian lowered his eyes and shook his head.
Since I was a child, I was forced by my business mother to "wear an extra layer", "wear thicker and thicker when the weather changes", and "bring an umbrella". These are really headaches.
Shang Yuxian put down the coffee cup in his hand, and explained: "There are too many people at the dinner table, I can't eat."
"The strong emotions established at the dining table are very important," the young man slouched on his chair, adding a bunch of creamer and sugar cubes to his coffee cup, "What is the most important thing for human beings? ——To survive by filling one's stomach. Some people may think that San Lang knows how to eat and eat in one day, but I always think that eating is very important, very, very important. Because eating is very important, so when you can eat enough, you will be very happy , so... people who can share table time together must be very important people, and the big families in TV dramas only get together when they eat."
Seeing the other party's serious expression, Shang Yuxian couldn't help laughing.
Shen Lang: "Old Shang, what does that contemptuous 'ch' from your nose just mean?"
Shang Yuxian: "I want to say that for many elders, eating is the best time to teach their children. For those who have been preaching at the dining table all year round, 'come over to eat' is equivalent to ' The hour has come', it's almost Judgment Day, don't get too fancy."
"Because you have family, do you feel that family is redundant?"
"I never felt my family was redundant, just heavy..."
"Is heaviness a burden, a burden, or something you want to get rid of?"
"no……"
Speaking of this, Shang Yuxian frowned and thought about it, then said with a smile:
"My mother, as you have seen, is a very strict mother. When I was young, basically, every time I ate, I would be educated by her. I always eat with my head down— —When I get the first place in the class, I will ask how many points the first place in the grade is; if I get the first place in the school, I will ask how many points the first place in the city is... After being admitted to a key high school, let me give up all the friends who failed the high school entrance examination. When eating breakfast, even the collar of the shirt is not turned properly, and the cuffs are a little wrinkled, and I will be seriously ridiculed... So, my biggest wish since I was a child was to leave home, never eat at home, and never go to restaurants with my family , Later, I finally went abroad."
Shen Lang was stunned for a while, then smiled and praised: "Mr. Shang, I think it is because of your mother's hard work that you have received a formal, serious, and elite family education since childhood, so you are now such a well-dressed man." , A well-spoken gentleman."
Shang Yuxian: "..."
Proper and elegant.
The way children praise others is also too direct.
Shang Yuxian lowered his eyes, and the tips of his ears gradually turned red.
Shen Lang: "Compared to many useless and discouraged uncles, Shang Yuxian, you are so handsome, rich, capable, intelligent and outstanding. If your mother hadn't educated you like that, would you be like this now? "
Handsome and excellent.
Shang Yuxian: "..."
Shen Lang asked again: "Then are you happy after going abroad? Is the food more delicious than at home?"
"It's okay." Shang Yuxian replied casually.
"Really? Really okay?"
"Of course, I ate almost all the restaurants near the university, spent all day in the library, and was so free that I didn't even go back to the dormitory."
"Because the foreign dormitory is quiet, so you don't want to go back?"
"No."
"Because I miss my parents very much, so living in a dormitory in a foreign country will feel very lonely, right?"
"no……"
"So you dare not go back?"
"Do not……"
"It's clear that I dare not go back!"
"Are you a repeater?"
What's the situation now, I was constantly asked by the children.
Shen Lang still didn't give up: "Just admit it, would a 'home' without a family be called a 'home'? Didn't uncle cry secretly because he missed his mother when he was abroad?"
Shang Yuxian was powerless: "San Lang..."
"Actually, most families are like yours, right? Unlike me, there are only grandparents in the family, no parents."
The young man thought for a while, then said:
"Although I don't know exactly what it's like to be taught harshly by my mother, but Ning Roujia, the class leader in Tangtang's class, has a very strict mother, and she is the female boss of a catering company. I heard with my own ears, that woman said to Ning Roujia—'How can you be so stupid', 'Is your head a lace ball', 'You can only take the first place and be the squad leader, and everyone behind No.1 The rankings are called losers'..."
Shang Yuxian was stunned.
Nowadays, they are all pampering their children, and there are such parents?
Ning Roujia is only five years old, right?
"Anyway, I was delivering goods to the kindergarten, and when I heard Ning Roujia's mother scold her, I thought, this woman is really too much, such a parent..."
Speaking of it.
Shang's mother, who was standing not far from the door, clenched her fists.
Seeing this, Mother Li hurriedly opened the door to interrupt them.
Mother Shang stopped her, stood at the door and continued to listen—
"...But, at the parent-child sports meeting last time, Ning Roujia signed up for a long-distance run, because no one in the Sunflower class was willing to run that, so she raised her hand, the child said, because her mother told her that even everyone couldn't do it She must do what she has come to do! You came late that day, and you didn’t see that Ning Roujia fell down when she ran the first lap in the small playground. Later, that mother who often scolded her, never Squeezing out from the audience, without saying a word of blame, they helped the child up, cheered her on, and ran with her—she was wearing high heels and a professional skirt, running, running, and running beside Ning Roujia. After running two laps with the child and reaching the finish line, when she got off the track, she sat on the ground, took off her shoes, and her toes were covered in blood."
Shang Yuxian was touched and looked at those peachy eyes.
Shen Lang smiled: "Shang Yuxian, when your mother teaches you and urges you to work hard, you only notice your own feelings. Have you seen that in fact, your mother has always been by your side, and she is always there for you? Come on!"
Shang Yuxian: "..."
"So, the mother who finds faults all day long gives you the most "criticism" and is the most annoying, but isn't the "cheering" that mother gives you the most among all the people in the world?"
The young man stuffed half of the egg tart into his mouth and chewed it happily while speaking.
"Although, sometimes family members will put a lot of pressure on me, but family members are also the people who give me the greatest encouragement, aren't they?"
San Lang stared at him——
"Shang Yuxian, when we get married in the future, we become family members, and each other and our children will become a heavy burden on each other's shoulders, right? You also said that family is not just a responsibility and obligation. Sometimes It is heavy and makes people feel very tired. However, this heavy burden is also the biggest and biggest motivation for us not to lose heart, not to admit defeat, and to work hard no matter how hard it is, isn’t it?”
The room was quiet for a while, and the two had a moment of silence.
Outside.
Shang's mother had no expression on her face, but Li's mother noticed that her eyes seemed to be filled with tears.
After a long time, the young man's voice came out again——
Shen Lang: "So... so... There are many small awards on the wall in the corridor, are they all hung up by my mother?"
Shang Yuxian: "That kind of willful thing..."
Shen Lang: "So, burdens are actually sweet."
Shang Yuxian thought of the family portrait on the living room wall on the first floor.
In that huge photo, only Mr. Shang was smiling happily, Mrs. Shang had a straight face, and Shang Yuxian himself was as expressionless as a wax figure.I still remember that before and after this photo was taken, my mother was very unhappy because of his insistence on going abroad.At that time, he always thought that there was nothing worth staying here, and it didn't matter where he went, as long as he could leave his parents and leave home.
Later, something happened to the family business, so I had to rush back.
Shang Yuxian even thought about just settling in the United States.
When I was young, I painted portraits for the first time, and the proposition was "My Mother". At that time, the teacher was very worried about his homework, so I asked Shang's mother to go to school to talk.The business mother, who is the wife of a businessman, held the untitled painting and said in a proud tone: "My son's painting is undoubtedly the best in the school! Obviously, he is more creative than other children! In addition, this is ...Liao Zhai?"
——This is Shang Yuxian's most interesting memories about "mother" abroad alone.
Every time I think about it, I can laugh.
San Lang broke the egg tart in half, took a bite and chewed it in his mouth.
"You came back from studying abroad. You used to be a super perverted top student, right?"
"Can your adjectives be less sharp?"
"Uncle used to be the most coquettish young man in the class, right?"
"Hey."
"Pocket money, new clothes, new mobile phones and laptops, are you the first to get them?"
Shang Yuxian: "..."
The kid just talked about himself, not listening to others at all.
"Shang Yuxian, you are obviously a very, very happy child with enviable things, but you act very indifferent, and you don't like to talk to your mother. You are really disgusting."
Shang Yuxian: "..."
"Tangtang has an art book, and there is a sentence in it, which I think is very good—" San Lang ignored his expression: "I can't see the theme of a painting clearly because I ignore the background."
The young man's voice was too small to be heard clearly.
"Shang Yuxian, the background of the painting "Happiness" is other people's misfortune. There must be something at the bottom. Have you seen other people's misfortune?"
Shang Yuxian: "..."
He remembered that on the wall of the stairway, there were large and small photo frames inlaid with awards and certificates.
That is the "absolute domain" of Shangmu.
Every time relatives, friends, business partners, girlfriends and sisters come to the house as guests, the business mother will show off and say, "I have beautiful flowers on the roof of my house, let me show you there."When going up the stairs, Shang's mother walked in front, her steps slowed down, her heels touched her toes, and she walked in small floral steps, as if she was waiting for the other party to praise "ah, these are Xiaoyu's awards", "your son It's amazing", "International competition", and then, Shang's mother quickened her pace and continued to go up the stairs, with a straight face, and said coldly: "Nonsense, things for children to play, and the grades in school are the most important thing." of!"
——The reason why all the potted plants in the yard and garden were moved to the roof.
Shang Yuxian finished his coffee and stood up: "On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I will bring Tangtang back again and eat here."
When Shen Lang heard this, he laughed immediately: "Really? Is what you said true?"
"Yeah." Shang Yuxian's voice was very low, "Have dinner with mom... I haven't had dinner with my parents for a long time. You will accompany grandpa in the shop for the Lantern Festival, and I won't bring you any You came."
Shen Lang nodded hurriedly: "Okay, don't take me with you, you have to get along with your mother well, the son wants to raise but he doesn't want to be close, remember?"
Shang Yuxian rubbed his forehead: "Got it."
heard here.
The business mother at the door held her breath and went downstairs as if fleeing.
Back in the bedroom, the woman sat on the bed, tears falling down, and she couldn't stop it.
The son is not close to her, how helpless she has been these years, no one has cared about her situation.Everyone is accusing her behind her back, saying that she only cares about her own status and doesn't care about her children. She knows all this... However, with such a big family and such a big business, if her son is not good enough, what will happen in the future? manage?
Just like the ancient prince, if he is deposed, what are the chances of surviving?
This is all in the past, and the son has also taken over the power of the merchant. Although he is still not close to him, he is at least safe, isn't he? How much hope is there for a relationship.
Thought I didn't care anymore.
Unexpectedly, amidst the young man's questioning of her son, she was so wronged that she couldn't help crying.
I don't know how long the tears flowed.
Mother Shang glanced at the time, wiped her face in a hurry, took out a big red envelope from the closet, took off the only sapphire ring on her hand, and stuffed it with a thick wad of money.
Heard footsteps on the stairs.
The door knocked quickly: "Mom... let's go, I will bring the child back on fifteenth."
"Oh, wait," Shang's mother opened the door, looked down at her son, stuffed the red envelope into his arms, and whispered, "Don't tell your father about your affairs, I'll tell him."
Shang Yuxian: "?????"
Shang's mother raised her eyes: "He is a good boy, I like him very much."
Shang Yuxian: "..."
Shen Lang went downstairs slowly, saw Mrs. Shang standing at the door of the master bedroom, and hurriedly ran forward, "Auntie, what's wrong with your eyes..."
"No, nothing..."
Shen Lang lowered his head to look at her carefully, and coaxed in a low voice: "Auntie, if you feel unwell, you must call Shang Yuxian and ask him to take you to see a doctor. Don't be afraid of delaying the child's time - he is your son, yes You, he is on call 24 hours a day! By the way, you can also call me, let him tell you my mobile phone number."
Shang's mother choked her throat: "...OK."
"That..." Shen Lang was a little apprehensive, and asked cautiously, "Mother Shang, do you like the clothes I chose for you?"
Shang's mother nodded: "I like it, really, I like it very much, I will put it on tonight."
"Really, really?" Shen Lang was stunned for a moment, clenched his fist and smashed it into his palm, "That's great! I saw your photo, and I thought you must be beautiful in that! That's great!"
Mother Shang was moved by the young man's smile, and laughed too.
"—Big brother, big brother, I woke up!"
Hearing Tangtang's call, San Lang hurriedly said: "Then, then I'll go first, there is a grandfather at home, I have to go back and cook him New Year's Eve dinner."
The business mother's eyes were soft: "Be careful on the road."
"Okay," the young man stomped downstairs, ran downstairs, caught the little dumpling that rushed over and held it up high, "Did you sleep soundly, big brother will take you out for a walk in the garden," looking back at the supportive Shang Yuxian, whose mother went down the stairs: "I will take the children out for a walk, and gather at the garden fork."
Shang Yuxian: "Okay."
Watching the young man leave the house with the child in his arms.
Shang Yuxian turned around: "Did you hear that?"
Shang's mother stared at him: "I'm at the door, you already know?"
Shang Yuxian smiled: "Yes."
Business mother: "Have you figured it out?"
Shang Yuxian nodded: "Yes."
Shang's mother looked at his expression: "Do you like him?"
Shang Yuxian looked directly into her eyes: "I love him deeply."
Shang's mother was silent for a while, then nodded: "You can figure it out, anyway, you have a child, and you can live on your own in the future. I will find a way for your father."
Both mother and son had no expressions on their faces, nor were they in a calm mood.
Shang Yuxian was overjoyed, and walked out of the house, not allowing Shang's mother to send it out. He held Shang's mother's hand: "Mom, all these years, I know that you are doing it for my own good, but I just...not very good at expressing..."
Mother Shang's eyes turned hot, she turned her head away quickly: "Hurry up, don't make people wait, it's too cold outside."
"I'll come back on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Dad, I'll leave it to you." Shang Yuxian said, "By the way, he made an advertisement, which may be aired during the Chinese New Year..."
After hearing her son finished speaking, Shang's mother blinked, "Ask him what he wants to eat, what else is missing at home, call me, and I will ask the driver to take it to Longting."
Shang Yuxian stopped walking down the steps, "By the way, he is a little anemic."
Shang's mother turned and went into the room: "Understood."
In Mulsanne's car.
Shang Yuxian turned around and handed the big thick red envelope to Shen Lang: "My mother gave it to you."
Shen Lang was embarrassed: "I'm already at work, so I can't accept the lucky money from my elders."
Shang Yuxian started the engine: "My mother gave you a gift for changing your mouth."
Shen Lang: "?????"
Shang Yuxian smiled in his eyes: "I don't remember? When you taught me, how many times did you call 'Mom, Mom'?"
Shen Lang's face turned pale: "...she, she...heard?"
Shang Yuxian smiled: "Who knows."
Shen Lang opened the red envelope, about 1 yuan: "This is the first time I have received such a large amount of lucky money..."
Then I saw a blue object falling out.
Shen Lang took a closer look and panicked: "Go back quickly, mom forgot the ring in the red envelope."
Shang Yuxian glanced back quickly, and immediately understood Shang's mother's intentions: "For you, it was given to her by my grandma... Well, it is SomethingBlue, after all, when the car is scrapped, Sapphire will not."
Looking at the gem the size of a pigeon egg, San Lang's head went numb: "Passed to the daughter-in-law?"
Shang Yuxian: "It was passed on to the merchant's clan wife."
Shen Lang looked confused: "...why, why? I wrote a plan to capture the mother-in-law, but I didn't do anything!"
Shang Yuxian's eyes were soft: "You have done a lot."
Shen Lang: "?????"
In the busiest year of the grocery store, a family of four just finished eating dumplings.
The Spring Festival Gala on the TV sang reunion songs. Amidst the sound of firecrackers on New Year’s Eve, San Lang and Tangtang sat on the big Korean Kang in the bedroom on the second floor, and pasted the last photo in a handmade photo album inside.
San Lang: "It's done!"
Xiaotuanzi: "It's so beautiful!"
Shen Lang asked Xiaotuanzi to look at the photo album, and went downstairs to find Shang Yuxian in the old man's bedroom.
Shang Yuxian was watching the Spring Festival Gala and eating fruit with the old man.
Shen Lang waved to him and asked him to come to the door: "Your ex-wife's WeChat, tell me, okay?"
Shang Yuxian was stunned for a moment, and didn't ask him what he was going to do. He took out his mobile phone to check, with a hint of guilt and explanation, hesitantly said: "San Lang, today, she may call me in the early morning, you answer Bar……"
Shen Lang got the other party's WeChat ID, turned around and left: "No, I'll contact her later."
Go back upstairs.
Shen Lang added Xie Yaqin's WeChat account.
After waiting for less than 10 minutes, the other party passed.
Sam Lang sent out a video invitation.
The other party agreed in seconds.
At the other end of the video, Xie Yaqin was wearing maternity clothes and sitting on the sofa. Before Shen Lang could speak, she smiled and said, "Happy Chinese New Year, Xiao Lang, I'll call you Xiao Lang, is that okay?"
Shen Lang nodded: "Then I'll call you Sister Xie."
"Okay, it's fine if you don't call me auntie," Xie Yaqin chuckled. Just as she was about to say a few more pleasantries, she saw a little brain appear in the video, and then Tangtang's smiling face appeared.
The woman froze for a moment, then stared at the phone in surprise, looking at the child's face: "Tangtang?"
Xiao Tuanzi climbed onto Shen Lang's lap and hugged his elder brother's waist: "Mom! Happy New Year, Mom!"
"Hey... hey!" Xie Yaqin's throat choked, "Happy New Year, baby."
Xiaotuanzi couldn't wait to show off, "Big Brother and I made a present together for Mom, we made it ourselves!"
"Really? What is it?"
"photo."
"what?"
Shen Lang took over the conversation: "Sister Xie, Tangtang is getting older every day, and I don't know how much she can remember when she grows up, I found some old photos of you here, and your alone photo , together with the photos in your Weibo album, I made a photo album, and I would look through it for her when I have nothing to do, so that she will always remember your appearance."
Xie Yaqin was surprised: "...Xiao Lang..."
"Sister Xie, I heard you won't come back," San Lang interrupted her, kissed Tangtang's forehead, and said with a smile, "I also made a photo album for Tangtang, and I plan to make one every year. If you don't mind, give me the address in the United States, and I'll mail it to you every year, she's still young, so she doesn't want to post photos online for now, okay?"
Xie Yaqin was silent for a while, sniffed: "Okay, okay, thank you, Xiao Lang."
"The cover of the photo album was planed by myself after I found a good piece of wood, Tangtang installed it, and we finished it together from the beginning to the end." Shen Lang opened the wooden photo album page by page and showed it to the camera, " These photos are almost all taken by me, Tangtang’s basic necessities of life, learning and playing, joys, sorrows and joys... Sister Xie, I will definitely take good care of her until the day when I can’t walk anymore and can’t take care of her, please rest assured .”
"Uh-huh!"
Xie Yaqin suddenly covered her face and cried out loudly.
"If you need to find Tangtang for something, Shang Yuxian is too busy to answer the phone, you can call me, and I will send you the number—you know, he is a person who can't take care of others when he's working I know more about Tangtang than he does, and if she has anything to do, we can discuss it."
Xie Yaqin nodded again and again: "I wanted to talk to you before, but I was afraid you would mind... In the future, we can contact directly, can we? After all... After all, I am a woman... He won't mind, right?"
Shen Lang was embarrassed: "Are you afraid that he will...be jealous of me and you? How is it possible?"
Xie Yaqin nodded seriously: "He is serious about you."
San Lang: "..."
At this time, footsteps came from the other end of the video, and a man with yellow hair came over.
Xie Yaqin wiped away her tears, letting
